About

Longborough Festival Opera is one of the UK's finest country opera houses: an intimate 500-seat theatre set amidst the glorious rolling hills of the Cotswolds.

Each performance is created especially for the Festival: talented designers, directors, conductors and the best up-and-coming artists coming together to bring you something you won't have seen anywhere else.

Located in the grounds of founders Martin and Lizzie Graham’s home, a visit to Longborough ensures a unique experience which truly captures the drama and emotion happening on stage.

This summer, take in the picturesque views, bring a picnic and enjoy spectacular opera at Longborough.
